Last week we went to the Flamenco Dance Museum in Sevilla. We were able to see the museum, take a flamenco dance class and watch a show. The museum was, well . . . a museum.  The class was really cool because our teacher was also the lady in the show; she was really nice and an incredible dancer.  She kept telling Dad to stop shaking his hips so much.  In Flamenco women move their hands a certain way and lead with their middle finger and men lead with their pinky fingers.  The show was really fun to watch because the sun had gone down outside and all the lights were off inside except for a few candles.  It was a very romantic ambiance.  It was really amazing when they were dancing, they got so into it and their sweat was flying off of them into the crowd – that was a bit gross! Sometimes it even hit you so the 3D for the show was a thumbs-up.

Mom and I started taking Flamenco classes this week with a nice lady, who I think used to be a professional when she was younger.  The classes are at her house which is also a cool ceramic store and flamenco studio, it’s right around the corner from our apartment.  We are learning the local folkloric dance ‘Sevillanas’ and it’s really a fun time . . . me, my mom and the teacher laugh a lot.

Bye and thanks for checking on us!

This was on our way to the Flamenco Dance Museum. There are so many cool streets and neighborhoods to walk through.

While we walked through the museum we didn't realize that this was going to be where we took our dance class but it was.

This was my favorite dress in the museum.

Our teacher was nice enough to take a picture of us, she told us to yell olé!

This is on our way back to the apartment . . . that's the back of the Catedral de Sevilla and the Giralda Tower. It was such a pretty night.
